Justice in America?

9/11 Commission NOW REJECTS ITS OWN REPORT: Hang onto your hats: John Farmer (pictured left), Dean of the Law School at Rutgers University and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was legal counsel to the 9/11 Commission, and in charge of drafting its report. And now, having read through lots of further evidence, he's come to the conclusion that the official version of the story is almost entirely untrue, based on false testimony by the White House, CIA, FBI and NORAD. His new book, The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America's Defense on 9/11, makes this case with loads of documentary evidence-and his colleagues on the commission are on board, as the article below makes clear. So are John Farmer and those other members of that very commission all "conspiracy theorists"? - The Underground

Dominant Social Theme: State of flux?

Free-Market Analysis: We have waited a while to write this article. We didn't want to jump on it until we had a few spare moments to ponder and discuss. So, a month later, we provide you, dear reader, with our modest commentary.

What does Dr. Farmer soberly suggest? That higher ups the CIA, FBI and White House likely perjured themselves, lying about the greatest disaster to come upon America in the early 21st century. The FBI especially has been very active of late in the realms of criminality, attempting to expand worldwide and changing its focus from criminality in general to white-collar crime. But somehow, the 9/11 difficulties do not demand its considered attention.

In fact, we believe a good deal of the current American wiretapping ruckus has been caused by the brief of American intel agencies to ensure that the cold remains of 9/11 are not raked up. Any amount of resources is being directed to this end -- including a focus on white collar crime -- and the book released by Farmer is probably just one more attempt at damage control. Obviously something happened, according to the good Dean, that the US government (or elements of it) is deadly afraid of revealing. We don't hold our breaths that Obama will get to the bottom of it either - even though 9/11 remains the cynosure and "red line" of American culture and politics for the foreseeable future.

We are very cynical at this point about anything having to do with 9/11 from official sources. Farmer's book essentially admits what much of the American public already knows - that 9/11 is trapped in the amber of official falsehoods. There's no harm in doing it at this point, and for an official at his level to do so adds luster to the tattered remains of American credibility in this regard. We tend to think it is another manipulation of sorts. High-level officials in Washington (and outside Washington) are NEVER going to tell the truth about what went on.

Conclusion: You would think the American intel agencies would be all over something like this. But while the FBI and others are digging out cash from freezers of Congressmen, the leads in the biggest caper in American history (one that cost 3,000 innocent lives) are allowed to grow cold. In fact, the American intel agencies operate as a modern Pratorian guard, keeping the secrets of those for whom they work and investigating the convenient crimes they can "solve." The 9/11 difficulties when combined with the trillion dollar elite-bailouts of the economy are going to come back to haunt those in power - and maybe even the rank-and-file that support these falsehoods. These acts have been conducted under the blinding glare of the Internet. If the powers-that-be have concluded that "average joes" are not sorely aware of the disparity in treatment between their economic class and those in high places, they are underestimating the intelligence of such citizens. They have done so before.
